In this special presentation, Stefan Drössler illuminates the beginnings of Schroeter’s film career through photos, documents, and tantalizing rare clips of Schroeter’s first 8mm films and home movies, digitally preserved by the Munich Filmmuseum. We follow his activities from 1967, when he visited the experimental film festival in Knokke and discovered film as a personal art form, to 1971, when he was established as a star of the undergound film scene and was able to shoot four films financed by different German television channels.
